“Had a impromptu lunch date at this cafe and it was wonderful! the atmosphere was relaxing and very welcoming. The staff are warm and helpful ,we had to a make dietary request and they accommodated it and it wasn't any bother. cafe is beautifully decorated and very comfortable, they have different types of chairs which was a life saver for my back! Absolutely loved the food , a little expensive I would say but definitely worth it , best BBQ chicken cheese toastie I've had and the salad that accompanied it was gorgeous. Just what was need on a hot day. I would definitely recommend this place !”

“Had the full English breakfast as did hubbie - quality ingredients, non greasy, cooked to perfection. Daughter had steak baguette and sil salmon with scrambled eggs. All of the food was delicious, served hot and well presented. Service good and considering the quality / portion sizes good value.”

“They are amazing! Attentive staff, quick tasty food. The wife and I came to celebrate our 8 year anniversary of dating for the second year in a row, definitely making it a yearly thing! Cannot express enough how nice the food is. I overheard the next table saying it was the best Chinese they had in years.”

“Second time having Afternoon Tea here and still great. The staff are amazing. They are welcoming, friendly and attentive. The Afternoon Tea for 2 is tasty and fresh. We also ordered scrambled eggs on toast for our 8month old. He enjoyed it, as did I. It's the best scrambled eggs I've ever had. Came out hot, too, which was even better. Would 100% recommend without a doubt.”

“We’ve been going to this chippy for a few years now and the food and service is amazing every time, staff are extremely friendly will always recommend this place to anyone”

“I know this place as the pepper mill and am a regular user. I always go for a salad box cause of my diet and I am never disappointed because they always have a good selection of meats,fish and cheese plus other vegetarian options. The menu as a whole is excellent and the specials are great value”

“Food was all lovely and fresh. I had the butter chicken Bombay bowl which was incredible and such a large portion I couldn’t finish it! My boyfriend had the mixed meat kebab and masala chips - he really enjoyed both, especially the chips. First time trying Chaiiwala and definitely won’t be our last visit.”

“Really nice and relaxing. Benny is super helpful.”

“Very cute little place with incredible food and super lovely staff! Mushrooms on toast were great, but the show stopper was amazing croissant bread & butter cake!”

“Great value, Martin the landlord was super helpful and accommodating with our check in times, calling me to say he was happy to open up early so we could drop our bags and grab the key allowing us to head off for the start of Rockstock. Nice pub too with a friendly atmosphere and great pint of Madri. Thanks guys.”

“Was recommended to this little gem by my son the food was absolutely amazing I had the king prawns on sourdough the sauce was just amazing it was followed by spicy lamb koftas on a flatbread and again it was beautiful it was totally filling meal. I would recommend this venue to everyone. The chef must be a magician as we didn’t wait very long for our starters and main meal. The young lady who was serving us and bringing our food was very busy but was polite knowledgeable about some of our parties allergies and always had a smile on her face nothing was a trouble. The staff at the bar were very polite and smiling all the time. We had a wonderful evening and made our stay there absolutely great. The staff at the venue are a credit to the owner and management.”

“Friendly staff, speedy service, lovely food and an ideal location. Really enjoyed our visit. Thank you!”

“Always busy whenever we go, the food comes quickly and is very tasty. Staff are friendly, and the menu is reasonably priced.”

“Stopped at Morrisons early in the morning, eager to find their lemon drizzle cake I’d seen online. Unsure of the aisle, I asked the staff, who kindly pointed me in the right direction, saving me time. Their helpfulness made my day.”

“I have been going here for a very longtime, chicken in black bean sauce, Vermachelli Singapore style, fillet steak Cantonese style, king prawn chow mein these are just a few dishes that I have always ordered. Cooking is a fine art I have never had a complaint about any food I have had from this takeaway, I have been to restaurants in Manchester China that have not been as good as this takeaway. The couple running this takeaway are very good people. Food always prepared perfectly, order on the phone always very polite and Pleasant. I will never go another Chinese takeaway why would I when this is to the highest standard.”

“Ok. Hear me out. I was visiting from Texas on a work trip. My office is right across the street. Took my team out to eat after work to get to know them and chose this place. I am always a pepperoni pizza type of guy. But two of my team ordered the chicken and waffle pizza which was amazing. I wanted to eat all their pizza and not my pepperoni. Came back to the states and looked for someone who made this pizza and no one. This will be my first stop on my next visit.”

“We had never used them before but the one we normally use was closed and at the last minute having guests arriving to expect our normal meal had to ring Couldn’t have been more helpful on the phone , it arrived on time hot and the quality was extremely good , we will use them again”

“Clean, comfortable, modern, very user friendly, eat in, take away, drive through- peaceful relaxing atmosphere , helpful attentive friendly staff,foods beautifully displayed making choices easier - great food, great coffee. Highly recommend it.”

“As always thank you for making us and the girls welcome and nothing being too much trouble! Becca and the team are so friendly and helpful! They always go above and beyond no matter the time of day we’re in the pub! Thanks for making the simple thing such as a lunch out or our tea super special and delicious! Lovely to see you as always. Nat, Gary and the girls x”

“I'm biased. I love the Boars Head I've been frequently the place since I was a teenager and now I live in Ireland I still make a point of going in the place when I return to my home town of Stockport. It's a nice traditional pub with a warm and friendly clientele with beers and spirits at very reasonable prices.”

“I recently visited the cafe place and it was a fantastic experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly staff and a cozy, inviting atmosphere. The interior is beautifully designed, with a perfect balance of modern and rustic touches. The staff really knows their stuff when it comes to food – you can tell they take pride in what they do. I also loved the music and the general vibe of the place – perfect for a relaxing break or catching up with friends. Highly recommend if you're looking for great coffee and a welcoming environment. I’ll definitely be back soon!”

“Came in for a coffee for the second time, lovely place. Noticed the manager of the establishment has excellent hospitality skills and is sure to sit and talk to his punters before they leave. spectacular display just very hard to find in 2018. Be sure to visit again 5 stars!! Recommendations for anyone to visit to stay or to just have a relax.”

“My son and I were visiting Fletcher Moss for the first time, and didn't know where to go for food and drinks! Anyway, we decided to go Ye old cock! Well, it turned out to be the perfect choice. Beautiful clean pub with character. Great menu choices. Also, fantastic price deals..a meal and a premium drink each (we chose a Guinness, and a 250ml glass of wine) all for £10!! Great service too. I will definitely go again.”

“Been coming in for years great beer great staff and great atmosphere”
